Slim Devices: Hi end audio for tech savvy people

Logitech: Affordable but good quality mice, webcams and keyboards

Which brand does not fit in in this list? It's a huge risk to rebrand 
your product with a very well established name/logo like Logitech. I'll 
bet the average Mark Levison buyer who paid not only for the sound but 
also for the exclusive image would think twice about putting a Logitech 
branded box on top of it (the logo is big).

The people at Logitech/Slim devices recognize this, that's why they 
concealed the Logitech logo on the Transporter. IMHO they should do the 
same with the Squeezebox or do something different with the logo. The 
way Toyota created Lexus when they needed a hi-end brand, everybody 
knows Lexus is Toyota, but that doesn't stop the trick from working...
